One former internee of the Kuching camp under Colonel Suga wrote
"It has now been established beyond all doubt that
Suga intended to 'dispose' of all prisoners
on September 15th (1945). In a detailed order for the
day, all people in captivity were placed in one of four categories
and were to be liquated in the following manner:
1. Women, children, nuns -- to be given poisoned rice
2. Internee men and Catholic fathers to be shot and burnt
3. 500 British-American-Dutch and Australian POWS to be marched
to the mountains to be shot and burnt.
4. The sick and weak left at Lintang Main Camp to be bayoneted
and the entire camp destroyed by fire." p. 648

Other internees also write about the rumors and warnings they
had heard about their forth-coming extermination on "the
Japanese Government order to Kill them all."
